Receivin' department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted, no callbacks complaints
Everywhere is calmHong Kong is present
Taipei awakes all talk of circadian rhythmI see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored, headache grey
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeperThe bull and the bear
Are markin' their territories
They're leadin' the blind
With their international gloriesI'm the screen, the blindin' light
I'm the screen, I work at nightI see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me, so much daysleeperI cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
It's furious balancingI'm the screen, the blindin' light
I'm the screen, I work at nightI see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so muchThe ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into Heaven and valentine
My bed is pullin' me gravity
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper
